What do you all think about this quote in this Register article:
Here's where it gets really annoying for customers. VMware offered a work-around for Server 2019 and ESXi users, and it involves simply turning off quiescing before they take their snapshots. That means you may be left without a complete snapshot.
"This means most customers will be unaware they are now backing up VMs in a file system consistent manner, NOT application consistent," explained our tipster, who we will keep anonymous at their request.
"So if customers come to restore any application sensitive VMs (DB servers etc.) then there is a good chance of inconsistent data."
I was reading this on the reg too. I've never used quiescing and have never had an issue with restoring or data loss. We also only use Veeam application aware processing on some DCs and old Exchange servers. All our SQL and Oracle are mirrored, so we'd never actually restore a database server with the DB.
